It's a five minute walk from Janghanpyeon metro station exit 1. It takes about 30 minutes to get to the centre and the key landmarks. I stayed in room 1713 and had a nice view of the Bukhansan national park mountains which was only 1 hour away by metro. Aircon/heating worked well and the water pressure in the shower was great too. I'd recommend.

Best alternative choice for you

It is a really value-for-money choice. For a frequent traveller like me, reasonably priced accommodation is essential. The location is a 5-minute walk from the MTR station and accessible to the central tourist spot in a 30-minute ride.

Very satisfied. Right across the street, there is bus stop which was so convenient. For emergency, the reception staff can exchange to dollar to won. Everyday fresh water bottles were given per person. My husband initially stayed there in the queen bed room and I came later, they did not charge extra, which makes sense but very nice.

The location was convenient for our purposes at the price point. Staff was not friendly at all nor accommodating, or welcoming. Almost mo lobby area at all to sit for a break. Definitely not a place I would recommend. The room was large with a sitting area - so that was nice. The bathroom was huge. The hallways were not air conditioned-so you get quite sweaty during a long wait for the slow elevators during our summer visit

I stayed there for 5 nights with my family. We rented 3 rooms. They did not change bed sheets and pillow covers the entire time we were there. Adaptors were required a security deposit of 10,000 won. They gave 1 room key & the room required a key for lights to be turned on & elevators to be used. It meant we had to leave the lights off if one of us were to run down the street to the store. Front desk clerks were not very friendly when we would greet them with a hello. Silence was there response. I didn’t feel like they were very hospitable. Metro is 5 minutes away. Bus station in the front. Some restaurants nearby. Location was decent.
